About this course
In this course, Shannon Kratky, MS, LPC, LCDC, NCC, defines both disability and ableism and discusses the types of each that are typically encountered. Offering examples of how ableism manifests, Kratky traces its impacts on both individuals and communities. Inclusion and accessibility are both important; strategies to achieve these are described. Kratky also outlines the ten principles underpinning the disability justice model and lists ways to create anti-ableist counselling and educational spaces.
